As a Wreck Diver you gain access to dive wreck sites safely that could otherwise carry inherit risks.
Diving on underwater wrecks appeals to most divers, though for many different reasons. You may find yourself attracted to the challenge of exploring the wreck, or a fascination with its historical nature. Underwater photographers love wrecks for their picture potential, while those interested in nature like the fact that wrecks quickly become artificial reefs.
Wrecks are typically ships, but can include railroad cars, aircraft and automobiles. In these, you’ll find wreck sites range from those open to new divers to those only accessible by technical divers. Whether your first or your hundredth dive on a wreck, few moments in diving compare with descending on the past.

The best way to learn about wreck diving procedures and to apply them is by doing it. This course philosophy expands your knowledge about wreck diving law, hazards to avoid, how to research wrecks, wreck diving equipment, the basics of penetrating a wreck and how to interact with the aquatic life while wreck diving.
You will apply the knowledge gained by reading the PADI Wreck Diver Manual and watching the video on at least four open water dives practicing and demonstrating the practical aspects of wreck diving.
Wreck Diving in Phuket
The fun part of the PADI Wreck Diver course is visiting wrecks, unlocking mysteries and starting to gain the knowledge and experience that allows you to see things that others overlook. Sometimes, only the trained, experienced eye recognizes that a small hole or open door likely caused the vessel’s demise.
This course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving. In Phuket, we are lucky to have the King Cruiser close by. The King Cruiser is a great wreck which we can dive any day we like. You can combine this with doing the PADI Deep Diver course to give yourself a great challenge.
